This deal had been for Cyber Monday only but is now here until December 27.

Great Deal: Up to a 40% Bonus for These Star Alliance Miles

Link: Aegean 40% Mile Bonus

Yes, that is more expensive than what other airlines charge with their buy mile promos but there are a couple of reasons you may want to do this.

• From 1,000 – 2,000 | 20% bonus
• From 3,000 – 10,000 | 25% bonus
• From 11,000 – 20,000 | 30% bonus
• From 21,000 – 50,000 | 40% bonus
• Miles cost 25€ per thousand (before the bonus)

Cheap Award Redemptions

My favorite Aegean award that I have redeemed for many times is business class between the US and Europe for just 45,000 miles (or first class for 60,000 miles). That means you could buy enough miles with this promo to fly on Lufthansa First Class for $1,282 one way (plus taxes and fees). That is not bad at all for what you get! Of course, I am not saying that everyone should do that, especially since Lufthansa only releases their first class space to partners 2 weeks before the flight. But it does show you what is possible!

If you wanted to go the business class route, you could fly something like Turkish for just $975 one way. While it is possible to purchase Turkish business class tickets from certain European cities to the US for a little more than that, this gives you more flexibility.

Tip: If redeeming for Lufthansa in premium cabins, choose to depart FROM Europe to the US as the surcharges will be much less than starting in the US.

You could also redeem for some incredible award like Trinidad to Tel Aviv for just 45,000 miles in business as well – if you could find the award space!

Great Way to Top Up

With the ability to earn 20% bonus miles with even the purchase of 1,000 miles, this is a great way to top up your account at a cheaper price. You can purchase up to 50,000 miles per year (not counting the bonus) so you could buy any amount from 1,000 miles up to 50,000 miles.

Save Your SPG Points

If you would normally transfer SPG points, this allows you to save those points for a different redemption option as opposed to transferring to Aegean. Right now, SPG is the only transfer partner of Aegean so being able to accrue more Aegean miles while saving SPG points can be a great deal.

Earn Bonus Miles

Since Aegean sells the miles directly, you should be able to earn bonus miles or points from a card that gives bonus points for airline travel. That means you could get even more value – especially since most airlines and hotels sell through Points.com
